Warriors Upended In Shootout

Story by: Winona State Sports Information Office


WINONA, MN -- Winona State University's hopes of another Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Tournament championship came to a heartfelt end when Southwest Minnesota State University outscored the Warriors 4-3 in a shootout played on Maxwell Field at Alltel Stadium.

The Warriors had plenty of defense, holding SMSU to just three total shots and only one shot on goal in 110 minutes of play. But the Mustangs converted on four of five shootout shots to pull out the win and eliminate the Warriors from NSIC Tournament play.

The Warriors also had plenty of offensive chances, putting up 32 shots, but SMSU goal keeper Kayla Borstad was up to the task and came up with 13 saves. Borstad then continued to be up to the task in the overtime when she stopped Cori Beard's shot on WSU's second shot in the shootout.

Jessica Curl came up with what proved to be the game-winning goal for the Mustangs, but Amanda Kramer stopped Ellen Diekemper's shot to give the Warriors some hope with one shot left to tie the shootout. From there Kallie Tellefsen had the chance to tie the shootout, but her shot was wide right.

The match officially ends in a 0-0 tie, but Southwest Minnesota State advances on to the semifinal round of the NSIC Tournament November 2 in Aberdeen, SD.
